Dreaming of a Cart
cart, handcart, wheelbarrow · mixed
A cart is about labor and servitude, but driving it or being carried in it is far luckier.
What happens in the dream
- Driving a cart: well-deserved success in business and your ambitions
- Riding in a cart: bad luck and endless work to keep your family supplied
- Being carried in a cart: the opposite, relief
- Seeing a cart: bad news from relatives or friends
- Lovers riding together in a cart: they'll stay true despite rivals' schemes
- Being harnessed to a cart like a horse: servitude and hardship
How you felt
- Weariness: the dream often mirrors the load of a heavy routine
- A wish to take the reins: it may reflect a desire to steer rather than pull
Ask yourself
- Am I pulling the cart alone?
- How could I take back the reins?
